Evening - we turned on the TV to see the news on the storms; plenty of coverage on the ice in OK and floods in TX.

How's your side of the town?
We saw a snow plow down our street, yes we did.

We're on high ground here, so no danger to us from the floods. They were pretty localized, low spots that got flooded out from the quick rain.

Rain has moved off to the east for now, nothing happening here right now except the temperature dropping. It's down to 36°F currently.

Ok...it seems we are on the very northern edge of what got hit the hardest...Becky may actually be in the part that did get hit hard...and she has all those trees! Have you heard anything from her in the horse thread? I haven't had a chance to look.

Here are some pictures...this is the limb that broke right when I posted earlier. It hit the gutter and didn't cause a bit of damage...it actually got caught on one the pillars of the tree fort and it's holding it up and keeping it from breaking more and hitting the fence.

This is what the ice looked like on the limbs at midday. Another wave of freezing rain came through after I took this picture, so there's about half as much more on the limbs now...they're really sagging, but holding up so far...

Roads are pretty clear...had several trucks come by looking for something to scrape and dropping salt. I guess I coulda made a bread/milk/egg run if I had to.
